How to change name, domain of site in Django

I am able to change the name of the domain and site in the administration panel (http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin). However, when I try to make changes directly to the database in the table django_site, it is not reflected in the administration panel (nor is it reflected in the URL of links sent in activation emails).

Why is this change not working directly in the database, and how can I change the site/domain other than in the administration panel?

As per the docs, Django caches the site upon the first request. Therefore you need to call Site.objects.clear_cache():

As the current site is stored in the database, each call to Site.objects.get_current() could result in a database query. But Django is a little cleverer than that: on the first request, the current site is cached, and any subsequent call returns the cached data instead of hitting the database.

If for any reason you want to force a database query, you can tell Django to clear the cache using Site.objects.clear_cache()
